Construction will start tommarow.

That is sorta how I made my impluse a few

summers back (a while ago at least) I think I still have a pic somewhere on my

computer....

Hey, whatta ya know, I found it....

Here is a pic,

according to the image properites, I uploaded it to my computer on September 19th,

2002. Which pretty much means that I did make it two summers ago....wow....thats a

long time ago....

Anyways, you can see that I used a more complex way, I

can't really tell if your way is better though, it seems effeicient though.

Nd9 if you build it that way it won't be realistic

because wicked twister has heartline twists.

I would think that the spikes wouldn't be very

stable without supports and fall over when the train is launched, but good luck!

If you can find a better way to do it,

thin I'd like to see it.
I have 3 SS seta and a Rippen Rocket, and I have a

friend with 2 sets who is willing to let me borrow some pieces.
I am a little

worried about the spikes being flimsy, but I think I can make it strong enough.
Update: Both spikes and launch are complete, now I just have to build supports for

them.
Also, before I forget, when I left I was building a hyper coaster that I

eventually finished, but never posted pics because it lost to much speed in the

turnaround and failed to work properly, just in case anyone was wondering about it.

Can a mod plz close this topic? Construction was

finished but whenever I launched it the force from the launch caused everything to

shake pretty bad, and the weight of the train, along with the shaking, the front spike

kept falling over. :(
